I realized that I’ve got to have a foyer instead of falling directly into the living room from the front door. Love that you went back to your French country style..
Is it me or does it seem like having the new floors has been helping you find your style for your home again? Everything is coming along so beautifully!
Oh Lauren, the last two videos i could feel your sadness. I know how it feels to ache for your Mother. I will pray for you as you continue to grieve for your Mother. ❤
You @tori.Flores and her are my absolute favorite to watch!! ❤❤❤ I decided to start a channel now. Realizing how much work it is to make videos. You guys are amazing.
Large, arched leaning mirrors on either side of the fireplace would be beautiful if you don’t end up putting tall windows there. I think sofas with taller backs would be nice, too. You could always go darker with the upholstery but also have white cotton slipcovers made for them, too. Then you have options. Your home is beautiful and you’re making it more “you” with each video you share.
White denim is an excellent choice for slipcovers. Just make sure you prewash fabric! 😊 And can I just say, I just loved the blue and white rug you had this winter. You just have the best style and you make it look effortless. ❤
Hi Lauren ! How about taupe or Carmel leather sofas that would look so rich and elegant like you love! I hope you’re doing better honey mentally I’ve been praying for you. Love your channel and glad you’re doing better and your back. Remember your health comes first and your babies ! Take care! God bless you ! ❤
I found your channel when looking for new (to me) decor channels. I loved your Victorian and your classic, traditional style. When you moved into this house, though it is a great house, no doubt, it just didn’t feel like you. It seemed like you were not truly in love with it but I can see now you are making it yours. All of the newest things you’re doing look fantastic and you seem happier with it. French country/Provençal is definitely a fantastic way to go to incorporate the things you love. Love to see these decorating videos! They’re my favorite!
I really enjoyed your arranging at the victorian as well. maybe on the fireplace pair down 😊some of the greens it's an over abundance I think that would look great.
So sorry to hear about your mother . My thoughts are with you and all your family . The loss is terrible . We lost our Father at the end of January so I it’s still very raw for us . We lost our mother 26 years ago .
Pull out a color from the rug for your couch color. I did a tweed fabric in browns, creams and tans, it’s beautiful and goes with all the holiday decor. I also had them use “extra firm” foam in the cushions! Plus, the sofa style is a “tight back” so no slumping, back pillows that ALWAYS need fluffing. The only fluffing I do is the accent pillows😘. I Love it!
Hi Lauren, I was wondering if have ever thought of incorporating a dining room in the front room with a seating area as well😊 kind of like an open concept.❤️
Lauren your sweet spirit always comes through in the videos. I’m so happy to see your return to your traditional, French look. It suits you. It’s amazing to see this home transform before our eyes. Sending you virtual hugs as you continue to grieve your mothers loss. Her urn and touches of green keep her close.🦋
I really love you new home decor, love the colors of blue, purple and green I have always loved colors in my home, it just really makes everything come to life! You always decorate so beautiful! God bless!
I think your living room looks pretty, love the greens! If it were me, I’d put my piano in that room and then have one or two cozy conversation areas with a couple of chairs and a small table. I know pianos aren’t for everyone but maybe there is some other thing you could feature in there instead of couches since you have a family room for hanging out?
Lauren, possible you could take wall down between large living room and kitchen, so you could have more room for family. I would push kitchen sink area to your now eating area and then have what is your smaller living area as sorta "keeping room with fireplace with a couple of chairs...just a thought..still love the horses! From central Nebraska.
Looks beautiful! If that front room is unused I would use at dining room and put super large dining table parallel to fireplace. Maybe a small couch under front window and buffet on opposite wall ( back of kitchen).❤
Very you going back to your old look. Very beautiful! If you could open your formal living room into your kitchen, it would be awesome. Then you could make your TV area into a formal dining room. Can't wait to see how you end up after your reno. Love your channel. ❤
Hello Lauren beautiful ideas with guest spaces. I really liked the decoration of the table you share with your family 😉 and the corners with the vases and very nice flowers as well as the statues with performances like the horses 🐎🐴🐎. The food looks delicious .🍋🍋🥑🥑🥑🥗🥗🥙🥙🥑🥑🍋to have a very nice and relaxing weekend ❤
I love that you don’t share your kids on your channel. I don’t like when RUclipsrs do that, especially as they get older. But any age is just not right because they don’t understand the long term consequences. Good for you. You are such a hardworking, loving and wonderful mother and homemaker.
I am so sorry about the loss of your mom my prayers and everything are with you and your family. I hardly am able to watch RUclips anymore. I'm so busy at work but when I do I love to watch you you're decorating is amazing you're just a beautiful person all around.
I love your former style that you’re bringing back, and I’m enjoying watching your spring decorating videos. We’re having some nice weather in Ohio tight now, but it’s too early to get true spring yet. I do have spring fever!
I would convert that room to a lovely full dining room. The fireplace would be beautiful as well. I know you would love having a full size dinning room table!
Hi Lauren, enjoyed your video along with your choice of music. Love how the living room turned out. I would be very interested about the artist that did the horses.💕
I just want to say that you're such a wonderful momma! You have so many lovely things yet you embrace your kids playing basketball in the house and I think that is great! You take so much thought into their food and food presentation. I just think you need to write a book someday concerning the art of living. ❤❤❤❤
Everything looks so good. When you first moved in and had a more modern style I almost gave up the channel. You’re so motivating I had to keep watching. So glad you went back to your style.
Your home is beautiful and I'm loving how your decorating it. Its just so cozy and lovely. I think a darker couch other than white is better with the kids. Whatever you choose will be great. It takes time to have things the way you want but your headed in the right direction.
I’m so sorry for your loss Lauren. may God give you and yours peace and comfort. On another note, it’s kind of ironic to see everyone commenting about a change, if you will, or back to “OUR” 😂 old Lauren. not to say that your videos aren’t always lovely. I just feel and see this rejuvenated spark and gorgeous decorating and Lauren. both are wonderful! I can’t imagine working, family,creating content, gym, self care, beautiful meals & home etc etc. You go girl! you’re inspiring & stunning 💕
Hi Lauren! I’m not a mom, but a young adult soon possibly planning a family in a few years, and I’m getting so much inspiration from your content - both homemaking and motherhood. I absolutely love your videos. About the formal living room - I’m guessing the wall inbetween is a bearing wall, but maybe it could be torn down and some support pillars put in instead, and then just extend the kitchen a little bit. Your husband might have some good ideas about it :)
Hi. I think windows on each side of your new fireplace would be gorgeous. Also love the idea of a porch. The living room looks so cozy and I love your decorating style.
Lauren, I think because it’s so large, perhaps you could have a freestanding fireplace dividing the room In half instead of on the wall, so it creates a lounge area and an area adjoining your kitchen like a formal dining area or even a small den, like bookshelves, ladder and lovely writing desk. Then add French doors either side of the fireplace now and it will have a double flow, Dickson and accent. The ceilings are tall enough to handle it, and the finishing could be stunningly beautiful with a gorgeous reclaimed timber mantle and support corbels. Very French farmhouse but also grand and inviting.
Lauren ,my name is Nora and it takes a time for grieving because I lost my son 16 yrs. ago times has gotten better but I keep in Heart and God will give that to you in time so enjoy your memories from a child always because God's glory is morning bless you and family love your videos st safe
I really love the style you choose for your home. What about beautiful Grey throws on your white couches. You could change them for any other colour that suits the seasonal decorating that you are doing. It is so lovely to see that your children feel at home in this room and they can shoot a few balls. I love the idea of a bigger verandah like the one you had at the Victorian. It will all work out nicely in the end. Have fun with all of your planning.
I love the white couches, just have a couple sets of slipcovers made for them, one set in white and maybe another in blue jean, they would match any accessory decor colors, I think it would be fabulous 🙂
I love all your decorating. I have lots of the same blue and white jars and similar pillows which look so fresh. If I had your sofas in the living room, I would put light gray washable slipcovers on them. With the children using the room to play it would make more sense so the stains and marks wouldn’t show. It would save you so much money instead of buying new sofas.
I'm so full right now and yet watching this video of the coconut chicken dish you prepared made me want to buy everything to try this recipe! Sounds good and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Try West Elm for a sofa. I have a the haven sofa. They have a performance fabric in gray you may like it. I suggest ordering it with a single bench cushion. It’s really nice . Your supper looks delicious. TFS
You should try a formal dining table in there and smaller couches on the other half. I think you would find yourself using it a lot since you do like a formal sit down meal!
Living room looks gorgeous.... I do miss seeing you decorate the dining room in the Victoria! You always did a fantastic job. Your videos inspire me. As soon as one is posted I take a break from my work (genealogy research) to watch them.
Hey girl. Love the green dishes. Just a suggestion on a new couch. If they have an option to have different sets of slip covers then you can change the look out. You look great as always.
White couches would have lasted less than 5 minutes in my house when my kids were small. Life happens, and the couches would have told the story. I recently bought a new chair for my living room and was having a hard time deciding on the color. The store had an app where I could superimpose chairs I was considering onto an image of my living room. It was really helpful for helping me make my decision.
My grandkids love charcuterie boards for dinner or snacks . They call them boards. They bougie. lol But what ever it takes to get them to eat different things.
Love the dining room table setting, I love the lemons. So beautiful and bright fir spring. I love the chinoiserie vases, I have a lot of them in my home. The fireplace mantle turned out so pretty. My mantal is so narrow I can barely put anything on it. My husband is actually going to make a custom mantle for me. So I will be happy I can finally dress up that area. Where do you typically buy your coffee table books from ?? I love all your floral stems. Your meal looks so yummy. I am definitely going to need to make this. Have you ever thought about coming out with a cookbook ?? I am planning to do an all herb garden bed too. I can't wait to get my garden started. Its been very rainy and cold where I live too. I really like the music you play, its very soft and calming. I hope you and your family have a beautiful weekend !!!❤
You are posting so much this week. What a treat for us! Thanks for sharing Lauren, you are so motivating.
I was thinking the same thing. I am always so happy to see her post. I am really enjoying it!😊
Oh wow I am loving how your are going back to the look you had at your Victorian .i have really missed it.
Thanks for sharing Lauren!
I realized that I’ve got to have a foyer instead of falling directly into the living room from the front door. Love that you went back to your French country style..
Is it me or does it seem like having the new floors has been helping you find your style for your home again? Everything is coming along so beautifully!
Oh Lauren, the last two videos i could feel your sadness. I know how it feels to ache for your Mother. I will pray for you as you continue to grieve for your Mother. ❤
I love Tori Flores. She does such an amazing job
Lauren, you are so sweet!! 😭🥹 I was just telling my husband how obsessed I am with your channel lol your style is my absolute favorite 😍
You @tori.Flores and her are my absolute favorite to watch!! ❤❤❤ I decided to start a channel now. Realizing how much work it is to make videos. You guys are amazing.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family 💜🙏🏾

White denim is an excellent choice for slipcovers. Just make sure you prewash fabric! 😊 And can I just say, I just loved the blue and white rug you had this winter. You just have the best style and you make it look effortless. ❤
I am loving the blue and white French country touches too!
Lovely seating arrangement .Beautiful and refine space you create .Love it❤
Hi Lauren ! How about taupe or Carmel leather sofas that would look so rich and elegant like you love! I hope you’re doing better honey mentally I’ve been praying for you. Love your channel and glad you’re doing better and your back. Remember your health comes first and your babies ! Take care! God bless you ! ❤
The transformation of your living room looks great. Love the mantel and stems! Dinner looks DELISH!

Aww I love that you have your mom cooking with you in the kitchen ❤ Big hugs!
I just love it so much. It’s just the sweetest idea. ☮️❤️
Looks happier, Lauren. Grief can take you to some dark places. Love this new style. ❤❤

I also had them use “extra firm” foam in the cushions! Plus, the sofa style is a “tight back” so no slumping, back pillows that ALWAYS need fluffing. The only fluffing I do is the accent pillows😘. I Love it!
I agree with some other comments that Camel color coaches would be so nice with your blue that you have for your french provincial accents.
The French country style is really coming together. Excited to see what else is to come!
Do what makes you happy you are doing a wonderful job so far just beautiful🥰
Love the direction you are going in! Beautiful decor, can't wait to see what you do for Valentine's Day :)
I love your touches of spring. ❤
I love that song set my world on fire
Hi Lauren, I was wondering if have ever thought of incorporating a dining room in the front room with a seating area as well😊 kind of like an open concept.❤️
When she first moved in, she had it like that.
Check around September 2022 videos. I suggested that too.
Lauren your sweet spirit always comes through in the videos. I’m so happy to see your return to your traditional, French look. It suits you. It’s amazing to see this home transform before our eyes. Sending you virtual hugs as you continue to grieve your mothers loss. Her urn and touches of green keep her close.🦋
Lauren, everything looks beautiful! I love how you're not afraid to use color and florals in your decorating! It's all so lovely! 😊❤
Floral, dark green chesterfield or light brown/camel leather couches for regal rooms, also royal blue
It all looks so beautiful!!! 😊❤
I really love you new home decor, love the colors of blue, purple and green
I have always loved colors in my home, it just really makes everything come to life!
You always decorate so beautiful!
God bless!
Loving everything about your decor, especially liking seeing so much of you lately too, you are definitely an inspiration !
Your house is becoming your own home with your good taste and beautiful decorating. It all looks lovely and welcoming.
I love this channel! And I love and respect the fact that you don't show your kids. Sending only good vibes from Puerto Rico ❤
Really Love the simple decor in the living room. It's elegant and calming. 🤍💙
I think your living room looks pretty, love the greens! If it were me, I’d put my piano in that room and then have one or two cozy conversation areas with a couple of chairs and a small table. I know pianos aren’t for everyone but maybe there is some other thing you could feature in there instead of couches since you have a family room for hanging out?
The lettuce set! I've wanted a set for a good while!!😊
I feel like we have you back with us this week ❤
Why not install some built in bookshelves on each side of the fireplace? With some fancy trim around them!
Yes that's what I thought would look great. ❤😊🏴
Lauren, possible you could take wall down between large living room and kitchen, so you could have more room for family.

I love the new colors, Laura! Everything is coming together beautifully! Thx for sharing.
Obsessed with your table setting🌿🍋
Navy sofas would be very elegant.
Your living room loves phenomenal. Just like a magazine cover. Love it.
I watch Tori as well.
I love that you don’t share your kids on your channel. I don’t like when RUclipsrs do that, especially as they get older. But any age is just not right because they don’t understand the long term consequences. Good for you. You are such a hardworking, loving and wonderful mother and homemaker.

Loved this video!! Living room turned out beautiful! Decorating and recipes!
Pottery Barn has some beautiful blue options for couches.
I would convert that room to a lovely full dining room. The fireplace would be beautiful as well. I know you would love having a full size dinning room table!
Hi Lauren, enjoyed your video along with your choice of music. Love how the living room turned out. I would be very interested about the artist that did the horses.💕
Hi Lauren, You have that touch for decorating everything is so beautiful and so are you ! ♥️
I love your style so much!! My dream style and what Im slowly acquiring after many, many, many thrift trips!🤪
I just want to say that you're such a wonderful momma! You have so many lovely things yet you embrace your kids playing basketball in the house and I think that is great! You take so much thought into their food and food presentation. I just think you need to write a book someday concerning the art of living. ❤❤❤❤
Everything looks so good. When you first moved in and had a more modern style I almost gave up the channel. You’re so motivating I had to keep watching. So glad you went back to your style.
for someone who is compelled to be symmetrical, this wild mantel arrangement is wonderful!!!
Your home is beautiful and I'm loving how your decorating it. Its just so cozy and lovely. I think a darker couch other than white is better with the kids. Whatever you choose will be great. It takes time to have things the way you want but your headed in the right direction.

OMGOSH!!!! Your Front Room is Absolutely Perfect!!!! This is the LOOK!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing ❤
I'm so full right now and yet watching this video of the coconut chicken dish you prepared made me want to buy everything to try this recipe! Sounds good and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
would love to see the Pantry
Hi love ! Target online has some beautiful blue checker arm chairs !
Brown distressed leather will look wonderful
Tori is the BEST!!! Love her
Milá Lauro toje taková nádhera u tebe užasné toje elegance vkus super ❤❤❤

Coconut cream on the pumpkin bread sounds amazing I want to try that ❤

Love all your decor!!
Grey color for the couches will also show dirt easily. Go with a brown color to hide stains.
Love how it all came out 😍 I’m also obsessed with Tori 💕
My grandkids love charcuterie boards for dinner or snacks . They call them boards. They bougie. lol
But what ever it takes to get them to eat different things.
So so glad you’re transitioning away from contemporary and back to the style at the Victorian!!

Take a look at LoveSac as s replacement for your couch! Comfortable, WASHABLE, versatile, and beautiful!
I would change kitchen to center dining room in front and huge living room in back
